2. Richard Feynman’s first principle is: You must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.

4. Michelangelo, when asked how he made the statue of David, he replied: I just remove everything that is not David.

5. Steve Jobs reiterated: Innovation is saying no to 1000 things

6. Thomas Edison said: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
